    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Medicine
    • Gastroenterology

    Background:

    • Lymphocytic-plasmacytic colitis is an inflammatory bowel disease in cats.
    • Clinical signs include diarrhea, tenesmus, and hematochezia.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report the diagnosis and treatment outcomes for lymphocytic-plasmacytic colitis in a cohort of cats.
    • To evaluate the efficacy of dietary management and pharmacotherapy.

    Main Methods:

    • Diagnosis was based on colonoscopic biopsies revealing lymphocytic and plasmacytic infiltration.
    • Treatment involved dietary modification using lamb and rice, horsemeat, or prescription diets.
    • One cat received sulfasalazine therapy.

    Main Results:

    • All six cats achieved clinical resolution of signs with dietary management.
    • One cat showed improvement with sulfasalazine.

    Conclusions:

    • Dietary management is a highly effective treatment for feline lymphocytic-plasmacytic colitis.
    • Further research into pharmacologic options may be warranted for refractory cases.
